To Ever Live Without Me

The choices, even though you knew the lines

You'd have to cross for me

You made them anyway

Voices, as you knelt there in the garden

'Neath the olive tree

You heard me call your name

I cannot pretend to understand it all

But heaven knew the reason you were there

It was all about a man

It was all about a cross

It was all about the blood that was shed

so I would not be lost

It was all about the love

That was bigger than a life

It was all about a freedom that was given

through your sacrifice

'Cause you would rather die

than to ever live without me

Helpless, that's humanity without your saving grace

So misled

Selfless, you could have called ten thousand angels

Down to take your place

But you took mine instead

I cannot pretend to understand it all

But heaven knew the reason you were there

A greater love has no one than this

That he will lay his life down for his friends
